"Whatever it is it just another nut case who was able to get a high power gun to kill people. Why is this allowed?"

It's not allowed... but people do it anyway, the same way they hold up banks, drink and drive etc, all of which are illegal activities.

It was just a matter of time until these shootings went from schools and workplaces where a disgruntled individual targeted people he knew. Now (as I long suspected it would), it has crossed into public venues where seemingly random individuals on a large scale, are the target.

I'm curious as to how (according to the news) he got 12 or more good sized weapons into a hotel without being noticed.

but you can't have a society where some nut shoots and kills 50 people and injures 100 ...

The problem is banning something would not have stopped this, does anyone REALLY believe that someone this demented would just throw up their hands and give up because of a law? You know what is completely illegal? murder, that ban didn't work. What about Paris in 2015, you can't say they don't have insanely restrictive firearm laws still how many people were killed by terrorists with full automotive weapons? That fiasco resulted in something like 130 deaths and over 400 injuries.

You have places with strict gun laws and places with lax gun laws, either way in a massacre situation like this neither makes a bit of difference, whether he got them legally or illegally, he was GOING TO GET THEM AND GOING TO USE THEM.

It's just a regressive opportunity to wave a virtue flag. A false solution. Something simple to blame that pushed a political agenda.

We had an islamic nut kill two people with knifes in paris yesterday. We had another drive a truck through a crowd. We had another use pressure cookers to kill and maim crowds. We had others fly planes into buildings... nobody wants to hear it, freemind. For many “law” is the answer because it makes them feel good ignoring the simple fact that MURDER IS ALREADY AGAINST THE LAW. Firing a weapon into a crowd is against the law. So many goddamn laws were broken by this nut that it would be difficult to list them all. But they wont care what laws he broke to kill these people or even that these people died. Their bodies will stood on to push a gun abolition agenda. To make more laws that criminals wont follow. And they will feel better. Thats what counts.
